Over 30 years of retirement, Woodward would collect as much as $616,149, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Woodward received $12,951 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Woodward will have already received $26,291 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
