Over 30 years of retirement, Kessel would collect as much as $768,181, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Kessel received $16,146 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Kessel will have already received $16,146 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
