Over 30 years of retirement, Chumbley would collect as much as $1.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Chumbley received $22,764 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Chumbley will have already received $70,361 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
