Over 30 years of retirement, Chu would collect as much as $5.64 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Chu received $118,576 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Chu will have already received $366,506 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
