An Ohio mayor is stepping down from his post following comments he made saying ice fishing leads to prostitution.
The failed attempt at humor created quite a backlash, naturally. City officials confirmed Hudson Mayor Craig Schubert submitted his resignation yesterday. Shubert went viral last week during a City Council meeting about ice fishing at Hudson Springs Park by claiming it would eventually lead to ice shanties for prostitutes.
The City Council will now appoint a replacement who will serve until a new mayor can be elected in November. In his resignation letter, Schubert did stand by his concern that allowing shanties will lead to prostitution.
