Over 30 years of retirement, Barimah would collect as much as $2.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Barimah received $46,071 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Barimah will have already received $142,401 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
