Over 30 years of retirement, Zeff would collect as much as $644,551, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Zeff received $13,548 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Zeff will have already received $27,502 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
