Over 30 years of retirement, Froehlich would collect as much as $664,984, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Froehlich received $13,977 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Froehlich will have already received $43,201 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
