Over 30 years of retirement, Dee would collect as much as $963,385, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Dee received $20,249 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dee will have already received $62,587 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
