Over 30 years of retirement, Chu would collect as much as $437,227, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Chu received $9,190 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Chu will have already received $18,656 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
