Over 30 years of retirement, Gondek would collect as much as $2.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Gondek received $42,743 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gondek will have already received $86,768 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
