Over 30 years of retirement, Neece would collect as much as $706,363, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Neece received $14,847 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Neece will have already received $45,890 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
