 The investigation resulted in more than 50 convictions and the incarceration of several politicians, most notably Tennessee House of Representatives' majority leader, Democrat Tommy Burnett.Two other targets of the investigation committed suicide before testifying, Tennessee Secretary of State Gentry Crowell, in December 1989, just before he was scheduled to testify for a third time before a federal grand jury, and State Representative Ted Ray Miller of Knoxville, after being charged with bribery.Following the scandal, Tennessee established limits on political contributions and placed new restrictions on lobbying.
