Over 30 years of retirement, McKay would collect as much as $2.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes McKay received $43,206 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McKay will have already received $87,708 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
