Over 30 years of retirement, Gillie would collect as much as $660,040, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Gillie received $13,873 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gillie will have already received $42,880 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
