Over 30 years of retirement, Marquez would collect as much as $6.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Marquez received $134,544 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Marquez will have already received $273,124 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
