Over 30 years of retirement, Bloom would collect as much as $152,408, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Bloom received $3,203 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Bloom will have already received $6,502 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
