Over 30 years of retirement, Garber would collect as much as $563,597, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Garber received $11,846 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Garber will have already received $36,614 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
