Over 30 years of retirement, Zurawski would collect as much as $168,040, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Zurawski received $3,532 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Zurawski will have already received $10,917 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
