Over 30 years of retirement, Culpepper would collect as much as $370,705, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Culpepper received $7,791 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Culpepper will have already received $32,596 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
