Over 30 years of retirement, Strzelczyk would collect as much as $1.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Strzelczyk received $30,410 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Strzelczyk will have already received $93,994 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
