Over 30 years of retirement, Leach would collect as much as $3.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Leach received $74,108 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Leach will have already received $150,439 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
