Over 30 years of retirement, Pardo would collect as much as $880,289, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Pardo received $18,503 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pardo will have already received $57,191 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
