Over 30 years of retirement, Riley would collect as much as $1.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Riley received $36,790 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Riley will have already received $74,684 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
