Over 30 years of retirement, Hildebrand would collect as much as $4.88 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Hildebrand received $102,612 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hildebrand will have already received $208,302 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
