Over 30 years of retirement, Barrett would collect as much as $433,973, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Barrett received $9,121 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Barrett will have already received $38,160 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
