Over 30 years of retirement, Staples would collect as much as $339,077, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Staples received $7,127 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Staples will have already received $29,817 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
