Over 30 years of retirement, Okal would collect as much as $783,116, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Okal received $16,460 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Okal will have already received $33,414 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
