After leaving state government, he became a lobbyist for the Golden Gate Bridge District, the California Water Association, and the California Chiropractic Association and was widely regarded as an expert on water issues in California. Garland was one of ten legislators that wrote the legislation to create the Central Valley Project.[1] During his Speakership between 1940 and 1942, Garland was often at odds with Governor Culbert L. Olson, a fellow Democrat. Governor Olson's staff was implicated in an electronic eavesdropping scheme in 1940, when bugging devices were discovered in Garland's hotel room in Sacramento.[2] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1986-05-24/business/fi-7685_1|title=Famed for Clashes With Governor : Ex-Speaker Gordon Garland Dies at 88|last=|first=|date=1986-05-24|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=2018-07-13|language=en-US|issn=0458-3035}} {{s-start}}{{succession box | title=Speaker of the California State Assembly | before=Paul Peek | after=Charles W.
