Over 30 years of retirement, Bethany would collect as much as $651,077, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Bethany received $13,685 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bethany will have already received $42,300 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
