Over 30 years of retirement, Youngs would collect as much as $300,296, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Youngs received $6,312 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Youngs will have already received $33,510 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
