Over 30 years of retirement, Cadena would collect as much as $548,759, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Cadena received $11,534 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cadena will have already received $35,650 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
