Over 30 years of retirement, Parks would collect as much as $473,902, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Parks received $9,961 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Parks will have already received $30,789 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
