Over 30 years of retirement, Culbertson would collect as much as $1.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Culbertson received $38,196 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Culbertson will have already received $118,060 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
