Over 30 years of retirement, Martindale would collect as much as $922,148, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Martindale received $19,382 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Martindale will have already received $59,907 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
