Over 30 years of retirement, Freke would collect as much as $322,972, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Freke received $6,788 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Freke will have already received $20,982 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
