Over 30 years of retirement, Zambello would collect as much as $161,509, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Zambello received $3,394 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Zambello will have already received $10,491 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
