Over 30 years of retirement, Sheridan would collect as much as $3.07 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Sheridan received $64,623 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sheridan will have already received $199,744 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
