Over 30 years of retirement, Steigmann would collect as much as $73,389, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Steigmann received $1,542 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Steigmann will have already received $6,451 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
