Over 30 years of retirement, Ho would collect as much as $1.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ho received $36,588 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Ho will have already received $153,073 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
