Over 30 years of retirement, Engblom would collect as much as $132,963, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Engblom received $2,794 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Engblom will have already received $5,672 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
