Over 30 years of retirement, Esakia would collect as much as $442,006, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Esakia received $9,290 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Esakia will have already received $18,859 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
