Over 30 years of retirement, Hobson would collect as much as $283,939, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hobson received $5,968 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hobson will have already received $12,115 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
