Over 30 years of retirement, Foster would collect as much as $2.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Foster received $49,117 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Foster will have already received $151,817 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
