Over 30 years of retirement, Cabanilla would collect as much as $415,253, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Cabanilla received $8,728 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Cabanilla will have already received $17,718 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
