Over 30 years of retirement, Taggart would collect as much as $669,557, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Taggart received $14,073 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Taggart will have already received $43,498 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
