Over 30 years of retirement, Burzawa would collect as much as $174,126, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Burzawa received $3,660 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Burzawa will have already received $19,431 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
