Over 30 years of retirement, Martig would collect as much as $2.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Martig received $45,135 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Martig will have already received $91,624 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
