Town of Milton Regional Councillor Tony Lambert pleaded guilty: http://www.mississauga.com/news/article/1256068--councillor-pleads-guilty-to-drunk-driving He has made a statement acknowledging the criticism he has received and admits he deserves it.
City of Toronto Councillor Ana Bailao has been charged and awaiting her day in court: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/1272214--ana-bail-o-toronto-city-councillor-charged-with-impaired-driving She has announced that she will be entering a "not guilty" plea.
City of Cambridge Councillor Pam Wolf was charged after a two car collision on Friday night: http://www.therecord.com/news/local/article/835465--cambridge-councillor-pam-wolf-charged-with-impaired-driving Councillor Wolf is reportedly taking some time to consider her career.
And then there's our hometown shame, Newmarket Councillor Chris Emanuel who was convicted in August 2011: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/1040337--councillor-fined-for-driving-drunk Councillor Emanuel seeks out speaking gigs with school kids and charity galas that promote him as a "star". He refuses to volunteer with community groups that promote an anti-drinking and driving message.
Not only are the 4 elected councillors but it seems they are left leaning councillors. Guess they all had too much to drink at the trough.
