Over 30 years of retirement, Goldstein would collect as much as $63,113, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Goldstein received $1,326 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Goldstein will have already received $5,548 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
