Over 30 years of retirement, De La Haye would collect as much as $750,146, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes De La Haye received $15,767 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, De La Haye will have already received $65,963 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
