Over 30 years of retirement, Rounds would collect as much as $42,817, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Rounds received $900 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Rounds will have already received $5,824 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
