Over 30 years of retirement, Norton would collect as much as $1.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Norton received $30,356 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Norton will have already received $93,828 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
