Over 30 years of retirement, Palumbo would collect as much as $3.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Palumbo received $65,094 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Palumbo will have already received $132,141 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
