Over 30 years of retirement, Garnett would collect as much as $2.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Garnett received $58,752 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Garnett will have already received $181,597 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
