Over 30 years of retirement, Cloutier would collect as much as $3.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Cloutier received $73,704 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cloutier will have already received $227,811 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
