Over 30 years of retirement, Banks would collect as much as $44,165, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Banks received $928 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Banks will have already received $2,869 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
