Over 30 years of retirement, Arciniegas would collect as much as $2.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Arciniegas received $45,369 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Arciniegas will have already received $140,231 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
