Over 30 years of retirement, Perez would collect as much as $2.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Perez received $49,132 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Perez will have already received $205,550 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
