Over 30 years of retirement, Blair would collect as much as $499,598, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Blair received $10,501 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Blair will have already received $21,317 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
