Over 30 years of retirement, Airhart would collect as much as $2.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Airhart received $44,304 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Airhart will have already received $136,939 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
