re: #8 Anymouse

Finally a news story about the bill:

Gov. Terry McAuliffe has recommended dramatic changes to a bill that would allow the state to use the electric chair as a fallback option in executions, suggesting instead that prison officials be allowed to make emergency deals with pharmacies to obtain drugs needed for lethal injections.

Under the governor’s recommendation, the identity of any pharmacy providing lethal drugs could be kept secret and would be protected from being outed in civil lawsuits.

McAuliffe is expected to formally announce the action during a news conference this morning at the Capitol.
