Over 30 years of retirement, Durkin would collect as much as $98,127, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Durkin received $2,062 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Durkin will have already received $6,374 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
