Over 30 years of retirement, Lara would collect as much as $169,787, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Lara received $3,568 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Lara will have already received $18,943 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
