Over 30 years of retirement, Dodt would collect as much as $5.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Dodt received $119,952 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dodt will have already received $370,761 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
