Over 30 years of retirement, Erbach would collect as much as $2.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Erbach received $58,579 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Erbach will have already received $181,061 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
