Over 30 years of retirement, Markan would collect as much as $1.12 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Markan received $23,588 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Markan will have already received $72,909 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
