On the City Watch website Ken Alpern points out that newspapers across the spectrum from "liberal" (LA Times) to "conservative" (LA Daily News, Long Beach Press Telegram, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Daily Breeze, etc.) have all endorsed Measure J, because, he writes: " . . . it ensures that planned and vetted transportation projects will be built within our lifetimes. Not just more talk and meetings—construction and implementation before our very eyes.  Not fantasy and hot air, but reality.  The only ones opposing Measure J are either obsessed with agendas that are opposed to Metro’s decades-overdue freeway, road and rail transportation projects, unrealistically want more money for projects that have already been assigned a fixed budget, or are just plain misinformed."
