Over 30 years of retirement, Hwang would collect as much as $1.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hwang received $39,225 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hwang will have already received $164,103 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
