Over 30 years of retirement, Brooks would collect as much as $425,324, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Brooks received $8,940 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Brooks will have already received $27,632 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
