Over 30 years of retirement, Semper would collect as much as $1.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Semper received $22,869 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Semper will have already received $46,424 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
