"EVANSTON, IL — A judge last week ordered an alderman to pay tens of thousands of dollars to an Evanston couple who accused her of abandoning construction work on their home in 2013. Ald. Robin Rue Simmons, 5th Ward, must pay more than $64,000 to the homeowners, according a default judgement issued Wednesday by Cook County Associate Judge Thaddeus Machnik."
