Over 30 years of retirement, Muench would collect as much as $28,436, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Muench received $597 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Muench will have already received $3,169 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
