Over 30 years of retirement, Burgholzer would collect as much as $2.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Burgholzer received $49,163 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Burgholzer will have already received $151,958 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
