Over 30 years of retirement, Bergquist would collect as much as $1.78 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Bergquist received $37,323 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bergquist will have already received $115,362 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
