      AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) ” Gov. Paul LePage is taking aim at the state tree growth program that once benefited U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin, ordering up a review by the Maine Forest Service because of the potential abuse of tax breaks. The executive order signed this week dovetails with separate review by an independent panel that was ordered up by the Legislature's Taxation Committee. The review ordered up by LePage is due to be completed by Dec. 15, before the Legislature returns for the final session of his tenure as governor. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
