Over 30 years of retirement, Stigberg would collect as much as $1.52 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Stigberg received $31,924 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Stigberg will have already received $64,806 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
