Over 30 years of retirement, Szelag would collect as much as $2.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Szelag received $49,156 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Szelag will have already received $151,937 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
