Over 30 years of retirement, Fitzner would collect as much as $2.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Fitzner received $54,384 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Fitzner will have already received $168,096 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
