Over 30 years of retirement, Jurgens would collect as much as $1.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Jurgens received $31,613 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Jurgens will have already received $31,613 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
