Even though E-Cycle's business model didn't make sense, legislation was actually filed on behalf of E-Cycle. Caroll says he saw the legislation.
When it came to legislation two bills were filed by Ford.
"I believe they were filed in January 2005," says Caroll. "He filed one bill -- was Senate bill 28 -- which had everything we wanted with the exception that the items had to destroyed outside the State of Tennessee."
LC McNeil asked Ford to refile the bill correctly on their behalf with the words "outside the State of Tennessee" added. By the time the second bill was filed, the FBI had two more senators who agreed to sponsor the bill. According to Caroll, just like Ford they were paid bribes to co-sponsor the bill. These Senators were Crutchfield and Miller.
"I met them through Charles Love," says Caroll when asked how he met the two co-sponsors.
