Over 30 years of retirement, Denzer would collect as much as $3.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Denzer received $74,466 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Denzer will have already received $151,166 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
