Over 30 years of retirement, Mercado Torres would collect as much as $77,072, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Mercado Torres received $1,620 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Mercado Torres will have already received $6,779 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
