The Pung family's home in Michigan was worth nearly $200,000. They owed the county $2,242 in property taxes. The county foreclosed and sold the house at auction for $76,000. Pung sued to argue that he should have received fair market value for the forced sale of his home. The Supreme Court has ruled selling at auction price is constitutional. The decision raises urgent questions about how far government can go when collecting debts from ordinary Americans.
