Over 30 years of retirement, Giles would collect as much as $191,778, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Giles received $4,031 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Giles will have already received $16,865 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
