Over 30 years of retirement, Klasek would collect as much as $2.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Klasek received $52,344 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Klasek will have already received $161,789 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
