Over 30 years of retirement, Kay would collect as much as $584,338, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Kay received $12,282 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kay will have already received $37,962 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
