Over 30 years of retirement, King would collect as much as $1.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes King received $33,101 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, King will have already received $102,312 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
