Over 30 years of retirement, Reineking would collect as much as $1.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Reineking received $41,140 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Reineking will have already received $83,514 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
