Over 30 years of retirement, Reimer would collect as much as $1.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Reimer received $26,712 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Reimer will have already received $54,225 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
