Over 30 years of retirement, Woolwine would collect as much as $406,079, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Woolwine received $8,535 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Woolwine will have already received $17,326 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
