Over 30 years of retirement, Crnich would collect as much as $3.95 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Crnich received $83,098 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Crnich will have already received $256,848 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
