Over 30 years of retirement, Harris would collect as much as $3.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Harris received $78,878 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Harris will have already received $243,803 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
