Over 30 years of retirement, Szydlowski would collect as much as $665,115, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Szydlowski received $13,980 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Szydlowski will have already received $74,220 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
