Over 30 years of retirement, Barnette would collect as much as $2.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Barnette received $50,017 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Barnette will have already received $209,255 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
