Over 30 years of retirement, Epps would collect as much as $738,020, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Epps received $15,512 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Epps will have already received $47,945 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
