Over 30 years of retirement, Houston would collect as much as $480,131, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Houston received $10,092 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 8 years of retirement, Houston will have already received $89,745 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
