Over 30 years of retirement, Schonauer would collect as much as $681,483, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Schonauer received $14,324 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Schonauer will have already received $44,275 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
