Over 30 years of retirement, Hanson would collect as much as $60,732, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Hanson received $1,276 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hanson will have already received $3,943 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
