Over 30 years of retirement, Towle would collect as much as $782,431, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Towle received $16,446 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Towle will have already received $33,385 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
