Over 30 years of retirement, Birjandi would collect as much as $614,293, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Birjandi received $12,912 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Birjandi will have already received $39,909 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
