Over 30 years of retirement, Cichowski would collect as much as $25,188, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Cichowski received $529 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 7 years of retirement, Cichowski will have already received $4,052 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
