Over 30 years of retirement, Britton Bey would collect as much as $3.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

After 2 years of retirement, Britton Bey will have already received $151,483 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
