Over 30 years of retirement, Whitman would collect as much as $577,561, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Whitman received $12,139 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Whitman will have already received $24,642 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
