Over 30 years of retirement, Shipplett would collect as much as $194,735, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Shipplett received $4,093 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shipplett will have already received $12,651 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
