ATLANTA — Georgia’s governor has only a few days left to decide whether to veto or sign the remaining bills sent to him by the state legislature. By law, Republican Gov. Nathan Deal has 40 days to veto a bill or sign it into law, a deadline that ends Tuesday. The governor can also decline to do either and let a bill automatically become law without his name attached.
