Over 30 years of retirement, Acton would collect as much as $1.18 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Acton received $24,712 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Acton will have already received $76,382 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
