Over 30 years of retirement, Beno would collect as much as $4.13 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Beno received $86,784 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Beno will have already received $268,242 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
