Over 30 years of retirement, Beachey would collect as much as $648,902, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Beachey received $13,639 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Beachey will have already received $42,156 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
