Over 30 years of retirement, Lach would collect as much as $753,937, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Lach received $15,847 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lach will have already received $32,169 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
