Washington Post columnist notes Geraldine Tyler, a 94 year old Minneapolis resident, asks the Supreme Court to uphold limits on takings and excessive fines. Tyler’s lawyers argue Minnesota’s 1936 delinquent tax forfeit statute allows surplus proceeds to be kept by government, violating Magna Carta and the Fifth Amendment. The Pacific Legal Foundation represents Tyler, highlighting how dozens of states have similar forfeiture practices. The column frames this as a clash between local government revenue needs and constitutional protections of private property.
