Over 30 years of retirement, Strand would collect as much as $1.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Strand received $35,813 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Strand will have already received $72,700 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
