There is hardly a government in the nation that wouldn’t do the same.
Sent letter first class, not returned, sufficient notice for something of this gravity.
Uh, huh.
Since Obama’s Auntie went to the big Hut in the sky, I guess they can give this poor woman her old Apartment.
couldn’t they simply just take it out of her bank account, the $6 or some other asset. I just feel that someone in power want the land/asset she occupy for cheap and trying to force her out
How about a little commonsense, if not justice?
So, which one of the Judge’s friends bought the house?
While the government office needs to be excoriated - at the least - over pushing the issue to seizure, does the judge in fact have room to rule otherwise without “making stuff up”?
Sounds like they need to change the law to have a minimum amount, say $1,000 balance, that is owed for them to seize the property.
May the judge and the plaintiff with the lawyer soon stand before the perfect judge to see how justice is really done.
this is why government should not be involved in healthcare, education, or charity. it’s inherently not designed to be. this exemplifies why. idiotic zero tolerance exemplifies why.
If her home’s valuation for taxes was $280,000, but it sold for $116,000 she was obviously paying too much in taxes.
I think she’s 53. In Texas when you turn 65 they won’t boot you out of your home for failing to pay property taxes. They will wait until you die, then the lien agains your property is acted upon.
Does PA have a law for those over 65 like Texas does?
So somebody bought a $280K house for $116K from an old lady’s estate, basically cheating her. It says a lot that nobody in the building where this originated reached into their pocket and handed over seven bucks to clear the matter up.
If I were the judge I would have pulled 7 bucks out of my pocket and said “case closed” You can have your house back Ma’am.
One more pertinent thing about that county code I posted:
My mailman is dyslexic; I get my neighbor’s mail with regularity.
However, I know for a fact that some mail never gets to me and said neighbor NEVER brings me mail.
I don’t trust my County; neither should you.
They do that here too,
I always pay mine.
Foreclosure 101 in Texas is that IF you buy a house at foreclosure your purchase is not final for 30 days so that the person foreclosed on can have time to “redeem” the home through whatever means that may become possible him/her.
I would say too that ANYBODY at a Texas Foreclosure Sale would GIVE this woman $6.30. Something is not right about this story.
Amendment VIIIExcessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
As I posted earlier, what happened to her 8th amendment protection against excessive, cruel or unusual punishment?
Seizing a quarter million dollar home over a six dollar debt seems to be very excessive punishment to me.

Cheating widows and orphans is a sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance.
I wouldn’t want to have been involved with this case.
