Over 30 years of retirement, Kolb would collect as much as $181,336, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Kolb received $3,811 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kolb will have already received $7,736 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
