Over 30 years of retirement, Recchia would collect as much as $2.13 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Recchia received $44,820 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Recchia will have already received $138,535 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
