Over 30 years of retirement, Whitehill would collect as much as $583,013, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Whitehill received $12,254 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Whitehill will have already received $51,268 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
