Over 30 years of retirement, Kopytko would collect as much as $806,688, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Kopytko received $16,956 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kopytko will have already received $34,421 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
