Over 30 years of retirement, Etlinger would collect as much as $404,537, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Etlinger received $8,503 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Etlinger will have already received $26,282 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
