Over 30 years of retirement, Buechler would collect as much as $632,539, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Buechler received $13,295 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Buechler will have already received $55,622 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
