Over 30 years of retirement, Lecky would collect as much as $1.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Lecky received $33,015 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lecky will have already received $102,045 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
