Over 30 years of retirement, Kling would collect as much as $3.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Kling received $71,304 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kling will have already received $220,393 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
