Over 30 years of retirement, Berger would collect as much as $321,419, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Berger received $6,756 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Berger will have already received $20,883 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
