Over 30 years of retirement, Pettus would collect as much as $1.05 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Pettus received $22,008 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Pettus will have already received $92,072 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
