Over 30 years of retirement, Stein would collect as much as $695,596, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Stein received $14,620 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Stein will have already received $29,679 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
