Over 30 years of retirement, Cler would collect as much as $451,956, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Cler received $9,499 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Cler will have already received $39,741 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
