Over 30 years of retirement, Snowden would collect as much as $613,574, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Snowden received $12,896 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Snowden will have already received $39,860 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
