Over 30 years of retirement, Easton would collect as much as $591,326, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Easton received $12,429 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Easton will have already received $38,417 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
