Over 30 years of retirement, De Velder would collect as much as $996,520, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes De Velder received $20,946 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, De Velder will have already received $64,741 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
