Supreme Court weighs in on property rights and equity theft disputes.

The US Supreme Court is set to hear a lawsuit against Hennepin County brought by a 94-year-old woman who lost her one-bedroom condo over unpaid taxes. The county sold the apartment for $40,000 and kept the excess money. The case is being represented by the Pacific Legal Foundation, which calls it a case of "home equity theft." The decision in the case could have implications for property taxes and the ability of states to generate revenue.
