Over 30 years of retirement, Verni would collect as much as $324,576, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Verni received $6,822 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Verni will have already received $28,542 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
