Over 30 years of retirement, Chavarria would collect as much as $3.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Chavarria received $69,171 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Chavarria will have already received $140,417 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
