Over 30 years of retirement, Adams would collect as much as $4.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Adams received $92,410 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Adams will have already received $187,592 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
