Over 30 years of retirement, Gandy would collect as much as $1.96 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Gandy received $41,206 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gandy will have already received $127,363 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
