Over 30 years of retirement, Blair would collect as much as $82,826, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Blair received $1,740 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Blair will have already received $7,279 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
