Over 30 years of retirement, Mistretta would collect as much as $263,763, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Mistretta received $5,544 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Mistretta will have already received $17,135 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
