Over 30 years of retirement, Royer would collect as much as $804,804, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Royer received $16,916 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Royer will have already received $34,339 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
