Over 30 years of retirement, Stapleton would collect as much as $2.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Stapleton received $42,564 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Stapleton will have already received $131,561 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
