- Supreme Court sides with Michigan county in a tax foreclosure case
The Supreme Court ruled against a Michigan family whose home was sold for less than half its market value to cover a $2,000 tax debt, upholding county practices that allow lower auction prices for tax foreclosures. The court rejected the family's claim that the sale violated their rights, with the county arguing that requiring open-market prices would undermine tax collection processes.
