Over 30 years of retirement, Vodicka would collect as much as $389,277, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Vodicka received $8,182 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Vodicka will have already received $25,289 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
