A woman from Georgia is pleading with council officials to be allowed to keep her home after it was foreclosed on and sold at auction - all because of an unpaid tax bill of $94.85.

Xui Lui from the town of Norcross says not only was she unaware that her condo had been sold auction, she also claims she never received any communication from authorities telling her about the sale in the first place.
Now, council officials are preparing to evict her by Thanksgiving.

...

City officials are trying to figure out what, if anything, went wrong.

What went wrong? I thought this was a desired function of government, stealing chit from your citizens. If there's no money, come after their property.

Gee, if you had only researched your latest "internet outrage"...on the internet...you would see this situation has been resolved. But why would you post the follow up that the situation has been fixed? It doesn't meet your end goal of pissing on the US now does it?

NORCROSS, Ga. —
UPDATE: A woman whose condo was going to be sold at auction over an overdue tax bill of less than $95 has now been told she can keep her home, as long as she pays a $300 late fee. (Source: WSB-TV)
