Measure J, the extension of the Measure R sales tax that would've sped up work on lots of major LA rail lines (and other transportation projects) has officially failed, by .56 percent. Grooooan. Like most tax measures in California, it required a two-thirds majority to pass, but only received 66.11 percent of the vote. Looks like the next best hope for LA transit is some version of America Fast Forward, which allows Metro to take out low-interest federal loans. [The Source, previously]
