Lathrop raises stink over name of sewer plant
LATHROP – What's in a name? Plenty, if you ask Lathrop Councilman Robert Oliver about the Manteca wastewater treatment plant on West Yosemite Avenue. A rose, by any other name, would smell just as sweet, according to the great bard of "Romeo and Juliet" fame.
