Over 30 years of retirement, Shaw would collect as much as $695,362, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Shaw received $14,616 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Shaw will have already received $45,176 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
