Over 30 years of retirement, Lee would collect as much as $777,532, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Lee received $16,343 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lee will have already received $50,514 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
