Over 30 years of retirement, Dantzler would collect as much as $1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Dantzler received $21,104 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dantzler will have already received $65,230 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
