Over 30 years of retirement, Morgan would collect as much as $245,757, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Morgan received $5,165 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Morgan will have already received $27,422 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
