Over 30 years of retirement, Reno would collect as much as $5.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Reno received $112,999 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Reno will have already received $229,388 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
