Over 30 years of retirement, Steltman would collect as much as $262,599, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Steltman received $5,519 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Steltman will have already received $17,060 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
