Over 30 years of retirement, Dutta would collect as much as $664,721, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Dutta received $13,971 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Dutta will have already received $58,450 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
