Over 30 years of retirement, Murdoch would collect as much as $1.07 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Murdoch received $22,500 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Murdoch will have already received $94,131 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
