Over 30 years of retirement, Willig would collect as much as $2.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Willig received $50,183 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Willig will have already received $155,110 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
