Over 30 years of retirement, Eckstein would collect as much as $987,294, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Eckstein received $20,752 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Eckstein will have already received $64,143 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
