Over 30 years of retirement, Woolbright would collect as much as $1.53 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Woolbright received $32,254 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Woolbright will have already received $134,941 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
