Over 30 years of retirement, Hooper would collect as much as $184,402, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Hooper received $3,876 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hooper will have already received $16,215 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
