Over 30 years of retirement, Trimuel would collect as much as $726,510, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Trimuel received $15,270 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Trimuel will have already received $47,198 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
