Over 30 years of retirement, Dayton would collect as much as $1.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Dayton received $29,196 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Dayton will have already received $59,268 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
