Over 30 years of retirement, Martin would collect as much as $585,799, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Martin received $12,313 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Martin will have already received $24,995 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
