Over 30 years of retirement, Plein would collect as much as $951,527, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Plein received $20,000 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Plein will have already received $20,000 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
