An Ohio mayor in Hudson which is between Akron & Cleveland has resigned from office after he made national headlines last week.  when he voiced concerns that allowing ice fishing at a park would bring prostitution to the city.

Here is Mayor Shubert in last Tuesday’s meeting:

That’s not the kind of pole they use in the shanty.

Craig Shubert submitted his resignation Monday morning to the clerk of the City Council and issued a statement.

Shubert wrote. “My attempt to inject a bit of dry humor to make a point about this, in the midst of a cold, snowy February, was grossly misunderstood.”
