Sex-obsessed GOP mayor warns ice fishing could lead to widespread prostitution
Craig Shubert is probably not a politician on most people’s radar. But the Republican mayor of Hudson, Ohio (pop. 22,262) is making national headlines after he linked ice fishing to prostitution at a city council meeting earlier this week.During a discussion about ice fishing safety on Tuesday, Shubert expressed grave concern that the popular winter sport could create a slippery slope that ultimately leads to a flurry of sex workers descending upon the affluent enclave located just outside the big bad city of Cleveland.Related: Mayor faces calls for resignation after naming Aunt Jemima as Joe Biden’s VP pick“If you open this up to ice fishing, which while on the surface, it sounds good, then what happens next year?” Shubert asked. “Does somebody come back and say, ‘I want an ice shanty in Hudson Springs Park for X amount of time?'”He continued, “And if you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then that leads to another problem: prostitution.
And now you have the police chief of the police department involved. Just some data points to consider.”Hudson mayor thinks ice fishing leads to prostitution!

Last year, he was widely ridiculed after arguing that creative writing classes in public schools could lead to kids writing erotica or, worse, pornography.Related: “My dad’s the mayor!”: Politician’s son caught hurling antigay slurs at a cop in leaked tape“It has come to my attention that your educators are distributing essentially what is child.
