Over 30 years of retirement, Quam would collect as much as $2.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Quam received $57,834 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Quam will have already received $117,403 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
