Over 30 years of retirement, Tarvin would collect as much as $566,971, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Tarvin received $11,917 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Tarvin will have already received $36,835 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
