Over 30 years of retirement, McCauley would collect as much as $1.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes McCauley received $41,181 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McCauley will have already received $127,285 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
