Over 30 years of retirement, Little would collect as much as $8,369, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.
The projection assumes Little received $175 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Little will have already received $928 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
