Over 30 years of retirement, Witkowsky would collect as much as $1.98 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Witkowsky received $41,518 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Witkowsky will have already received $84,282 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
