Over 30 years of retirement, Faith would collect as much as $2.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Faith received $51,381 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Faith will have already received $158,813 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
