Over 30 years of retirement, Kennedy would collect as much as $584,121, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Kennedy received $12,277 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kennedy will have already received $51,361 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
