Over 30 years of retirement, Pawlowski would collect as much as $233,117, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Pawlowski received $4,899 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pawlowski will have already received $15,142 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
