Over 30 years of retirement, Varga would collect as much as $3.24 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Varga received $68,158 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Varga will have already received $138,361 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
