Over 30 years of retirement, Banicki would collect as much as $1.1 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Banicki received $23,181 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Banicki will have already received $71,649 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
