Over 30 years of retirement, Conaghan would collect as much as $58,894, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Conaghan received $1,237 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Conaghan will have already received $3,823 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
