Over 30 years of retirement, Gournoe would collect as much as $353,555, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Gournoe received $7,431 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gournoe will have already received $15,085 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
