Blind Woman's Land Sold for $43

A blind woman is facing eviction from her northwest Indiana home of 55 years after the land was bought at a tax sale for $43 without her knowledge. "She got screwed on this bad," said Lake County Treasurer John Petalas. The new owner has filed eviction papers in court and is charging Dolores Pittman, 67, $300 in the meantime to remain in the house in Cedar Lake. "I want to know, am I going to be in here on Christmas or am I going to be out?" asked Pittman, who moved into the home with her parents when she was 12.
