Over 30 years of retirement, Bonello would collect as much as $3.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Bonello received $83,194 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Bonello will have already received $168,884 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
