Over 30 years of retirement, Hamp would collect as much as $518,313, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Hamp received $10,894 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hamp will have already received $33,673 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
