Over 30 years of retirement, Binks would collect as much as $282,124, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Binks received $5,930 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Binks will have already received $12,038 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
