Over 30 years of retirement, Brooks would collect as much as $1.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Brooks received $21,535 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Brooks will have already received $90,093 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
