Over 30 years of retirement, Reid would collect as much as $274,611, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Reid received $5,772 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Reid will have already received $17,840 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
