Over 30 years of retirement, Spannagel would collect as much as $72,933, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.
The projection assumes Spannagel received $1,533 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Spannagel will have already received $6,413 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
