Kennesaw Councilman James “Doc” Eaton said he wanted no part of the city’s decision to issue a business license to the downtown store. His resignation is effective on June 21.
“It breaks my heart to have to do it,” Eaton told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Eaton’s daughter, Cris Eaton Welsh, owns a chiropractic business across the street from the souvenir shop and said she plans to relocate.
“There’s a difference between selling merchandise and propagating hate,” Eaton Welsh said.
