Over 30 years of retirement, Calimee would collect as much as $485,937, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Calimee received $10,214 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Calimee will have already received $31,570 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
