Over 30 years of retirement, Ailey would collect as much as $124,953, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Ailey received $2,626 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ailey will have already received $8,117 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
