Over 30 years of retirement, Gurke would collect as much as $455,981, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Gurke received $9,584 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gurke will have already received $29,624 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
