Over 30 years of retirement, Evans would collect as much as $46,968, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Evans received $987 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Evans will have already received $2,004 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
