Over 30 years of retirement, Nickelman would collect as much as $204,697, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Nickelman received $4,302 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Nickelman will have already received $8,733 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
