Over 30 years of retirement, Park would collect as much as $330,867, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Park received $6,954 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Park will have already received $29,094 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
