Over 30 years of retirement, Turner would collect as much as $914,252, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Turner received $19,216 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Turner will have already received $102,020 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
