Over 30 years of retirement, Hawkins would collect as much as $2.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hawkins received $50,024 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hawkins will have already received $101,549 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
