Over 30 years of retirement, Slater would collect as much as $581,974, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Slater received $12,232 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Slater will have already received $24,831 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
