Over 30 years of retirement, Sargent would collect as much as $2.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Sargent received $62,168 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Sargent will have already received $126,201 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
