Over 30 years of retirement, Hechenberger would collect as much as $1.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Hechenberger received $26,814 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Hechenberger will have already received $112,179 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
