Over 30 years of retirement, Kreutzer would collect as much as $478,835, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Kreutzer received $10,064 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kreutzer will have already received $31,107 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
