Over 30 years of retirement, Thomas would collect as much as $439,785, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Thomas received $9,243 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Thomas will have already received $9,243 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
