Over 30 years of retirement, Tomal would collect as much as $48,304, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.
The projection assumes Tomal received $1,015 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Tomal will have already received $5,385 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
