Making sense of the ‘home equity theft’ case before the U.S. Supreme Court

A woman in Minnesota lost her $40,000 condo over a $15,000 tax debt. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether the government owes her the surplus. 

The case could have big implications for New Bedford, where dozens of property owners have lost their houses over tax debts that were just a fraction of the property’s value. The New Bedford Light’s Grace Ferguson listened in on the proceedings and breaks down the arguments in this special podcast.
