Over 30 years of retirement, Nowak would collect as much as $688,071, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Nowak received $14,462 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Nowak will have already received $44,701 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
