Over 30 years of retirement, Youngberg would collect as much as $859,714, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Youngberg received $18,070 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Youngberg will have already received $55,852 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
