Over 30 years of retirement, McGovern would collect as much as $892,324, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes McGovern received $18,756 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, McGovern will have already received $78,470 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
