Over 30 years of retirement, Parker would collect as much as $885,741, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Parker received $18,617 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Parker will have already received $37,793 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
