Over 30 years of retirement, Wiegel would collect as much as $935,867, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Wiegel received $19,671 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wiegel will have already received $60,801 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
