Over 30 years of retirement, Bez would collect as much as $1.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Bez received $24,696 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bez will have already received $76,333 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
