Over 30 years of retirement, Szatkowski would collect as much as $722,240, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Szatkowski received $15,180 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Szatkowski will have already received $46,919 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
