Over 30 years of retirement, Perez would collect as much as $701,071, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Perez received $14,736 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Perez will have already received $29,914 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
