Over 30 years of retirement, Cumbow would collect as much as $4.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Cumbow received $85,837 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Cumbow will have already received $265,313 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
