Over 30 years of retirement, Campbell would collect as much as $1.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Campbell received $26,207 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Campbell will have already received $53,200 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
