Over 30 years of retirement, Allen would collect as much as $4.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Allen received $89,882 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Allen will have already received $182,460 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
