Over 30 years of retirement, Hong would collect as much as $489,836, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Hong received $10,296 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Hong will have already received $54,664 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
