The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that states must work harder to make sure to tell homeowners before their houses are sold for back taxes. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the 5-3 majority, said Arkansas officials should have done more when certified letters mailed to Gary Jones were returned as unclaimed and when he failed to respond to a newspaper ad announcing the sale of his home. But in the dissent, Justice Clarence Thomas said officials had done more than enough to try to locate Jones.
