Over 30 years of retirement, Straka 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 Straka received $36,777 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Straka will have already received $36,777 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
