Over 30 years of retirement, Horstmeyer would collect as much as $2.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Horstmeyer received $48,305 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Horstmeyer will have already received $149,306 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
