Over 30 years of retirement, Sahly would collect as much as $3.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Sahly received $74,810 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Sahly will have already received $312,977 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
