LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. - The mayor of a small Southern California city says he will resign after being criticized for sharing an e-mail picture depicting the White House lawn planted with watermelons under the title "No Easter egg hunt this year."
Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose issued a statement Thursday saying he is sorry and will step down as mayor at Monday's City Council meeting.
Grose came under fire for sending the picture to what he called "a small group of friends." One of the recipients, Keyanus Price, a local businesswoman and city volunteer, publicly scolded the mayor for his actions.
A smashed watermelon was found at Grose's office door Thursday, an obvious reference to the White House watermelon patch email he sent to Price.
