Over 30 years of retirement, Walsh would collect as much as $4.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Walsh received $94,088 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Walsh will have already received $190,999 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
