Over 30 years of retirement, Green would collect as much as $2.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Green received $51,893 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Green will have already received $160,397 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
