this smells of cover up!

In a recent news paper article concerning our state treasuer Bruce Poliquin you get a feel that he may have not known he had a deed description that restricted tree cutting? come on this is the party that expounded his credits as an astute businessman,well qualified for the job,etc etc! Now he is some boob buyer (a highlander)
that bought a property valued at 2.8 million without any research? stuff that one!
his words involving maine housing project:
Poliquin said the project was only rejected because he and other board members balked at the cost. MaineHousing representatives disputed that claim and said the project stalled before Poliquin joined the board.

In an interview with Maine Public Broadcasting, the loquacious state treasurer said he didn’t care if the project was funded in part through tax credits.

“It’s still tax money — some comes from Portland, some comes from the feds, some comes from the state of Maine,” he said. “It’s all tax money, we’re all taxpayers–this is really unacceptable.”

that's an example to judge him bye: his own words:
now his property is valued not at $2.8 million but around 1 million-looks to me like that boob is pretty astute at finding tax dodges!
His deed has a restriction on tree harvesting. what is one of his tax shelters? how did he get it? why is sen. president raye trying to loosen up laws to change tax shelters so you can slide from one to another? why is the state sen. from livermore falls trying to
make a law that only a $100 fine can be levied if you don't file an update on your shelter woodlands?
this stinks of collusion and cover up! where is the democratic whizz kids?
I guess it's still malfunction junction in Augusta!
the tree growth law intent was skirted ! I don't want this man handeling my tax dollars!
I pay my fair share -he's a free loader!
