Over 30 years of retirement, Barz would collect as much as $5.32 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Barz received $111,915 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Barz will have already received $345,917 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
