Over 30 years of retirement, McCullum would collect as much as $589,265, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes McCullum received $12,385 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, McCullum will have already received $51,816 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
