As much as I love Rome, it’s always good to go home. This weekend is special, of course, because it’s the 250th Anniversary of our beloved country. We celebrate our independence from an earthly ruler whom our founding fathers considered to be tyrannical, but our founding fathers also realized that they are dependent upon God, who takes care of this one nation under God. Happy Fourth of July, folks! @thegnewsroom

Dont let go of the family at the center of yesterday's Supreme Court property tax ruling.

In 1991, Scott Pung bought a small three-bedroom home on half an acre for his wife and two children. It was their family home. When Scott died in 2004, his wife stayed there. When she died in 2008, their son and his family stayed. Same home, same family, more than two decades.

The whole time, it was their primary residence, taxed at the lower rate Michigan gives a family home. Then in 2010 an assessor decided, wrongly, that they should be taxed as if it were a second home. The family took it to court and won. The tribunal ruled they did not owe it.

The assessor's response, in her own words about the judge who ruled for the family: "I don't care what he says." She imposed the tax again. She left it off the original bill and added it later. When the family came in to pay, they brought a driver's license to prove it was their home, and paid what they actually owed.

It did not matter. Over roughly $2,242 that they did not owe and had already beaten in court, the county foreclosed. A trial court tried to give the home back over a notice failure. The county appealed to stop that. In 2018, after 27 years, the family permanently lost the home Scott Pung bought in 1991.

This is what the property tax can do. Not in theory. To a real family, over a bill that was never owed, because one official decided she did not care what the court said. And the Supreme Court said the Constitution will not make that family whole.

I reached out to the Pung family, and they gave me their blessing to share their story and this photo. My thanks to them, and my respect for the fight they carried all the way to the highest court in the land. It will help families they will never meet.

This is exactly why we are working to end the tax that made it possible.

The American people work at least five days a week. So should we.

Congress needs to be at work EVERY SINGLE DAY until we deliver for the American people.
