The mayor of Hudson suggested during a city council discussion on ice fishing safety that the winter activity could lead to prostitution.
HUDSON, Ohio - Hudson City Council now allows ice fishing at Hudson Springs Park after the mayor went viral for suggesting ice fishing could lead to prostitution.
Hudson Mayor Craig Shubert made this now infamous statement during Tuesday’s city council meeting when council members were discussing whether ice fishing should be allowed at Hudson Springs Park due to liability purposes: “If you open this up to ice fishing, while on the surface it sounds good, then what happens next year? Does somebody come back and say, ‘I want an ice shanty in Hudson Springs Park for ‘X’ amount of time?’ And if you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then that leads to another problem. Prostitution.”
Watch Mayor Shubert’s comments and the rest of the ice fishing safety discussion in the video below, beginning around 2 hours and 4 minutes into the clip:Hudson officials tell me ice fishing is now allowed on the lake in Hudson Springs Park.
