Over 30 years of retirement, Ratnam would collect as much as $1.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Ratnam received $31,800 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Ratnam will have already received $168,831 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
