Over 30 years of retirement, Herrick would collect as much as $293,108, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Herrick received $6,160 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Herrick will have already received $25,771 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
