Over 30 years of retirement, Burklund would collect as much as $463,003, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Burklund received $9,732 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Burklund will have already received $40,716 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
