Chico Enterprise-Record, 22 Mar 2013 – I am glad that Larry Wahl is a friend of mine. He has many traits that I admire. He is a decorated military veteran who is proud to have served his country. He is a good, honest, decent man who has a backbone of steel. He has the guts to stand up for his convictions even though they may ruffle the feathers of some who would impose their will on others if not for men like him. He has been a beacon of light on many occasions as a solid supporter of those of us who are swimming against the tide of liberalism that is rapidly accelerating the deterioration of our nation. Larry has solidly stood his ground for many who have and will certainly become victims of marijuana growers whose goals are to grow, smoke or sell their product, one that our federal government says is illegal to do so.

Chico Enterprise-Record, 22 Aug 2012 – Having read Mary Goloff’s letter to the editor regarding her inconsiderate neighbors who played loud, pounding music until 3 a.m., I have to congratulate her on her new stance toward a better noise ordinance. Sometimes it takes a dose of reality or becoming a victim to see what others have to deal with every day. Now, if Goloff happens to welcome a new next-door neighbor who just happens to have a prescription to grow six medical marijuana plants on the other side of her fences, she can now experience what many others have had to deal with. Let’s start with having to endure 2-3 months of putrid odor from growing marijuana invading your home. That may only be offensive to your senses but how about having to worry about armed druggies hopping your fence to get to the neighbor’s grow and a gunfight breaks out as the grower tries to protect his "medicine"? Will flying bullets stop at the property line? Not in this galaxy.
