Over 30 years of retirement, Turner would collect as much as $51,381, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Turner received $1,080 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Turner will have already received $6,980 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
