Former lieutenant Gerard Rodriguez, who retired in November 2017, saved $193,617 toward a pension over 30 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Rodriguez would collect as much as $4.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Rodriguez received $86,323 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Rodriguez will have already received $266,816 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
