Over 30 years of retirement, Freeman would collect as much as $1.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Freeman received $27,874 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Freeman will have already received $56,584 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
