A group of residents have launched a well-funded campaign to get the City of Lathrop to overturn its decision allowing a Pilot/Flying J Truck Stop to be built on Roth Road. And they’ve got the backing of roughly 12 percent of the registered voters in Lathrop’s last election. On Thursday a political consultant that was hired to represent the group announced via a press release that they had submitted 34 pages of a petition – totaling more than 1,100 registered Lathrop voters – to the City Clerk in order to either get the council to rescind their approval or force the matter to a vote before the people of the community.
