Over 30 years of retirement, Tirol would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Tirol received $41,363 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Tirol will have already received $127,849 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
