Over 30 years of retirement, Morris would collect as much as $586,804, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Morris received $12,334 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Morris will have already received $25,038 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
