Over 30 years of retirement, Turner would collect as much as $214,643, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Turner received $4,511 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Turner will have already received $4,511 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
