Over 30 years of retirement, Knoedel would collect as much as $1.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Knoedel received $27,572 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Knoedel will have already received $85,222 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
