Marketplace on Sheriff Thomas Dart’s decision to stop foreclosures

Another instance of never foreclosing based on wrong information:

RYSSDAL: I don’t imagine that you’re out there actually doing these foreclosures and evictions, but your deputies must come back and tell you stories about putting people out.

DART: Unfortunately, I do a lot of the evictions myself. I have been at the door, I have been in these people’s living rooms. And I’ll never forget the one family — I went in, and they were literally having their dinner. And they were all sitting around; there were three little kids, a mother and a father, and then all of the sudden, here I am, standing next to seven deputies, all dressed in black with battering rams, in their living room. The children are crying, and I’m sitting down with these people, and they’re showing me paperwork after paperwork showing they’ve paid all their bills, they’ve paid everything. That’s where we finally two years ago got to the point where we just stopped. It was just, the injustice was unbelievable.
