Over 30 years of retirement, De Mayo would collect as much as $1.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes De Mayo received $39,645 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, De Mayo will have already received $80,479 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
