Over 30 years of retirement, Hermon would collect as much as $790,851, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hermon received $16,623 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Hermon will have already received $16,623 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
