Over 30 years of retirement, Garrett would collect as much as $4.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Garrett received $88,032 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Garrett will have already received $272,098 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
