Over 30 years of retirement, Milhous would collect as much as $498,970, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Milhous received $10,488 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Milhous will have already received $43,879 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
