Over 30 years of retirement, Hawk would collect as much as $2.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hawk received $54,522 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hawk will have already received $168,523 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
