Over 30 years of retirement, Boston would collect as much as $1.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Boston received $36,188 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Boston will have already received $73,462 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
