Over 30 years of retirement, Skimin would collect as much as $259,761, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Skimin received $5,460 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Skimin will have already received $16,877 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
