Over 30 years of retirement, Arruda would collect as much as $15.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Arruda received $324,024 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Arruda will have already received $657,769 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
