Over 30 years of retirement, Lombardo would collect as much as $3.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Lombardo received $69,027 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lombardo will have already received $213,356 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
