Over 30 years of retirement, Wasniewski would collect as much as $1.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Wasniewski received $30,168 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Wasniewski will have already received $30,168 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
