Over 30 years of retirement, Fowler would collect as much as $328,841, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Fowler received $6,912 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Fowler will have already received $28,917 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
