Over 30 years of retirement, Rose would collect as much as $3.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Rose received $73,685 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rose will have already received $227,754 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
