Over 30 years of retirement, Brodsky would collect as much as $2.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Brodsky received $46,749 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Brodsky will have already received $94,900 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
