Over 30 years of retirement, Baldridge would collect as much as $61,086, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Baldridge received $1,284 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Baldridge will have already received $2,607 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
