Over 30 years of retirement, Pfleiger would collect as much as $1.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Pfleiger received $27,250 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pfleiger will have already received $84,228 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
