CM Terry Taplin is a professional poet and in November’s election, he was demoted from private citizen to Berkeley city council member.
During a recent Council Meeting, the investigative team at The Bunion spotted, in a reflective surface behind Taplin, pages from what appears to be a journal of poems written during meetings.
Using The Bunion’s advanced computer vision algorithms, we were able to reconstruct the poems despite the skewed angle and poor lighting.
