Over 30 years of retirement, Petrie would collect as much as $225,347, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Petrie received $4,736 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Petrie will have already received $19,813 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
