Over 30 years of retirement, Linden would collect as much as $1.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kendall County Times.
The projection assumes Linden received $35,907 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Linden will have already received $110,985 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
