Over 30 years of retirement, Abbott would collect as much as $796,920, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Abbott received $16,750 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Abbott will have already received $51,774 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
