Over 30 years of retirement, Schneider would collect as much as $1.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Schneider received $32,684 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Schneider will have already received $66,349 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
