Over 30 years of retirement, Cosky would collect as much as $1.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Cosky received $26,904 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Cosky will have already received $54,615 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
