Over 30 years of retirement, Metheny would collect as much as $522,937, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Metheny received $10,991 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Metheny will have already received $33,973 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
