Over 30 years of retirement, Karnavas would collect as much as $3.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Karnavas received $68,651 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Karnavas will have already received $139,362 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
