Over 30 years of retirement, Bedoya would collect as much as $58,118, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Bedoya received $1,221 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Bedoya will have already received $2,479 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
