They announced an additional $800M for the project (about 2/3 of the original MM+ budget, more than DCA or DAK's entire opening day budget), but haven't given any details for how it will be used, and nothing on the ground appears to clear it up. If you read between the lines, it appears there's a lot of shady business going on over there, and it would be great to get some clarity on the situation

Can't say I'm especially excited for it, but I'm sure it will make money

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'm surprised that they even voted on splitting the CEO and Chairman positions apart. It makes a ton of sense, but I can see why the Board would want to vote against it, since it might rock the boat. I think that it would do a ton of good (similar to the Walt/Roy and Michael/Frank setup), so it's a shame it will probably get turned down
