Over 30 years of retirement, Finkle would collect as much as $973,963, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Finkle received $20,472 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Finkle will have already received $41,558 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
