Over 30 years of retirement, Herriges would collect as much as $6.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Herriges received $128,288 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Herriges will have already received $260,425 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
