Over 30 years of retirement, Hillery would collect as much as $179,212, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hillery received $3,766 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hillery will have already received $7,645 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
