Over 30 years of retirement, Douglas would collect as much as $1.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Douglas received $24,404 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Douglas will have already received $49,540 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
