Over 30 years of retirement, Eberhardt would collect as much as $3.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Eberhardt received $78,096 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Eberhardt will have already received $158,535 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
