First pitch at Rate Field tonight is a little after 7:00. The family of Silverio Villegas González filed an administrative complaint today seeking compensation from the federal government for his death. A coalition of housing advocates say thousands of Chicagoans are at risk for homelessness if the City Council does not provide enough funding in next year’s budget. Some Illinois students are calling on colleges to cancel their contracts with Flock and remove the company’s automatic license plate readers.
