Over 30 years of retirement, Eastlund would collect as much as $3.35 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Eastlund received $70,323 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Eastlund will have already received $142,756 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
