Over 30 years of retirement, Taylor would collect as much as $81,508, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Taylor received $1,713 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Taylor will have already received $3,477 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
