Over 30 years of retirement, Anderson would collect as much as $3.67 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Anderson received $77,113 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Anderson will have already received $156,539 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
