Over 30 years of retirement, Reynolds would collect as much as $9.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Reynolds received $202,803 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Reynolds will have already received $411,690 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
