Over 30 years of retirement, Tanyk would collect as much as $173,201, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Tanyk received $3,640 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Tanyk will have already received $11,250 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
