Over 30 years of retirement, McGovern would collect as much as $30,571, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes McGovern received $642 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McGovern will have already received $1,303 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
