Over 30 years of retirement, Reithknecht would collect as much as $687,969, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Reithknecht received $14,460 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Reithknecht will have already received $44,695 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
