Over 30 years of retirement, Sankovich would collect as much as $2.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Sankovich received $60,873 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Sankovich will have already received $123,572 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
