Craig Shubert, the now-former mayor of Hudson, Ohio, resigned on Monday after saying that ice fishing could lead to increased prostitution.

Officials in a Feb. 8 City Council meeting were discussing requests to ice fish on Hudson Springs Lake, and whether opening up the lake to fishing could result in injuries on the ice that would overburden paramedics, firefighters and police, according to Cleveland.com.
 

This, apparently, led Shubert’s train of thought down a different track. “If you open this up to ice fishing, while on the surface it sounds good, then what happens next year?” Shubert wondered aloud. “Does someone come back and say, ‘I want an ice shanty on Hudson Springs Park for X amount of time?’ And then if you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then that leads to another problem: prostitution. And now you’ve got the police chief and the police department involved.”
