Over 30 years of retirement, Hamilton would collect as much as $597,383, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hamilton received $12,556 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hamilton will have already received $25,489 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
