Over 30 years of retirement, Montalto would collect as much as $41,173, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Montalto received $865 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Montalto will have already received $3,620 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
