Over 30 years of retirement, Vodicka would collect as much as $245,643, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Vodicka received $5,163 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Vodicka will have already received $15,959 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
