Over 30 years of retirement, Whitfield would collect as much as $678,235, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Whitfield received $14,256 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Whitfield will have already received $59,644 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
