Over 30 years of retirement, Halline would collect as much as $8.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Halline received $173,431 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Halline will have already received $536,058 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
