Over 30 years of retirement, Lehman would collect as much as $1.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Lehman received $26,410 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lehman will have already received $53,612 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
