Over 30 years of retirement, Stevens would collect as much as $645,625, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Stevens received $13,570 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Stevens will have already received $41,943 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
