Over 30 years of retirement, Lekkas would collect as much as $104,418, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Lekkas received $2,194 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lekkas will have already received $6,782 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
