Over 30 years of retirement, Whitlow would collect as much as $1.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Whitlow received $24,305 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Whitlow will have already received $75,124 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
