Over 30 years of retirement, Walton would collect as much as $3.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Walton received $75,131 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Walton will have already received $152,516 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
