It’s hard to say what Deal will do, but I called his office last week asking him to sign the bill. Hope and pray he does so.
My understanding is that he has requested some revisions to the bill. If he doesn’t get them, or even if he does, my bet is that he doesn’t sign the bill. This gives “cover” to representatives who are up for re-election since they can blame the governor, while making the big-business community happy.
