Over 30 years of retirement, Grezek would collect as much as $1.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Grezek received $31,068 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Grezek will have already received $96,028 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
