Pension whittled for high-paid Bellwood administrator

A suburban official who claimed 10 job titles at once has seen his retirement checks whittled by pension officials — though the 56-year-old is still getting about $230,000 a year.

The Tribune revealed in June that Bellwood had paid its comptroller, Roy McCampbell, $472,255 in 2009, helping him earn a quarter-of-a-million-dollar pension in retirement. The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund reviewed the pension and last fall knocked about $23,000 from it, the Tribune learned this week.

Problem solved.
