Over 30 years of retirement, Linden would collect as much as $966,462, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Linden received $20,314 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Linden will have already received $84,986 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
