Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber is at the brink.
After months of scrutiny over his fiancee’s questionable business dealings and use of office, he appeared ready to resign this week, calling home his successor, Secretary of State Kate Brown, from a D.C. trip. He was prepared to resign but had been talked down at the last minute by his attorney and his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, the Oregonian reported.

In the meantime, here’s a look at how six local papers played news of the developing scandal, courtesy of the Newseum.
