If the Old Dominion State, which The Associated Press reported has executed more people in its history than any other state, can do it, then so can Ohio.
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, is expected to sign the repeal, which the state legislature approved Monday, just days after a bipartisan group of Ohio lawmakers announced a push to do the same in the Buckeye State.
Once again leading the charge is state Sen. Nickie Antonio, D-Lakewood.
“It’s time for the state of Ohio to take the compassionate, pragmatic and prudent step to abolish the death penalty, which has been found to be expensive, impractical, unjust, inhumane and even erroneous,” Antonio said last week.

Power plant developers to reimburse village for $2.7M sewer line project
The Daily Jeffersonian
BYESVILLE The Ohio Water Development Authority has awarded the Village of Byesville a $1.4 million, low interest loan for completion of Phase II of the Guernsey Power Station Sewer Extension Project.
The 20-year loan at 1.28% will cover the cost of constructing 11,200 feet of force main line from Seneca Lane along Marietta Road to the lift station at the intersection of Marietta and Lucasburg roads.
The actual project cost for Phase II is estimated at $875,000, according to Byesville Village Administrator Brennan Dudley. This is a village project, but we will be reimbursed for the extension by the developers of the power plant, said Dudley. It will not cost the village or our residents any money.
