Over 30 years of retirement, Sage would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Sage received $40,447 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sage will have already received $125,017 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
