Over 30 years of retirement, Gorenz would collect as much as $553,206, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.

After 2 years of retirement, Gorenz will have already received $23,605 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
