Week Review
in
Repeal and Replace Dead

ate’s three Republican women declared their op-
position and killed the GOP’s effort to repeal and
replace the Affordable Care Act, a failure to make
good on a GOP promise that has defined the party
for nearly a decade and has been one of Trump’s
top priorities.

A recent welcoming ceremony to a SummerWorks internship program for local youth supported by a
wide coalition of local governmental agencies and private businesses included representatives of the city
of Portland and Mayor Wheeler, but the mayor himself did not attend. The mayor’s comments in support
of the program were made earlier. We regret the error in our coverage of the summer jobs program in last
