Over 30 years of retirement, McCoy would collect as much as $1.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes McCoy received $26,304 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McCoy will have already received $81,303 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
