Over 30 years of retirement, Winkelmann would collect as much as $455,542, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Winkelmann received $9,575 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Winkelmann will have already received $40,058 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
