Over 30 years of retirement, Portolese would collect as much as $145,483, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Portolese received $3,057 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Portolese will have already received $6,206 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
