Over 30 years of retirement, McCartney would collect as much as $69,947, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes McCartney received $1,470 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, McCartney will have already received $6,149 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
