Over 30 years of retirement, Boothe would collect as much as $45,152, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Boothe received $949 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Boothe will have already received $949 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
