Over 30 years of retirement, Perez would collect as much as $230,126, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Perez received $4,837 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Perez will have already received $14,950 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
