Over 30 years of retirement, Pfenninger would collect as much as $2.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Pfenninger received $42,595 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Pfenninger will have already received $86,468 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
