Over 30 years of retirement, Mizera would collect as much as $4.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Mizera received $99,213 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Mizera will have already received $306,657 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
