Over 30 years of retirement, Tate would collect as much as $716,942, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Tate received $15,069 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tate will have already received $30,590 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
