Over 30 years of retirement, Ware would collect as much as $1.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ware received $31,785 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ware will have already received $98,245 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
