Over 30 years of retirement, Lackner would collect as much as $347,195, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Lackner received $7,297 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lackner will have already received $22,554 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
