Over 30 years of retirement, Bowhay would collect as much as $108,471, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Bowhay received $2,280 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 7 years of retirement, Bowhay will have already received $17,468 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
