Over 30 years of retirement, Stefek would collect as much as $763,299, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Stefek received $16,044 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Stefek will have already received $67,122 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
