Over 30 years of retirement, Vena would collect as much as $2.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Vena received $48,427 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Vena will have already received $98,307 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
