Over 30 years of retirement, Puryear would collect as much as $898,244, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Puryear received $18,880 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Puryear will have already received $78,985 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
