Orléans East-Cumberland Coun. Matt Luloff was charged with impaired driving earlier in July. How will the legal process unfold and what does it mean for Luloff’s future as a city councillor?

Luloff, a second-term councillor, also serves as Ottawa Public Library Board chair and was the Conservative Party of Canada candidate for Orléans riding in the next federal election until he stepped down from that candidacy on July 10, citing personal reasons.

According to the charges filed in court, Luloff, 40, was arrested and charged on Saturday, July 6.

He was charged with two counts related to impaired driving, the filing shows. The first charge alleges Luloff was operating a motor vehicle while impaired. The second charge alleges that Luloff, “within two hours after ceasing to operate a (vehicle) had a blood-alcohol concentration that was equal to or exceeded 80 mg of alcohol in 100 mL of blood.”

The allegations have not been tested in court.

Luloff’s defence lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, signed an “enhanced designation of counsel” on July 9. That means a defence lawyer can appear in court on Luloff’s behalf.

Was wondering why the name looked familiar. Turns out it's the guy who was not a fan of the vacant home tax.

It's crazy to me that in the age of Uber, DUI is even a thing any more (not that it should ever be a thing, but now it's so incredibly easy to avoid completely).

Uber sucks anywhere outside the core.
