Over 30 years of retirement, Quillen would collect as much as $2.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Quillen received $47,328 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Quillen will have already received $96,076 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
