Over 30 years of retirement, Best would collect as much as $127,311, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Best received $2,676 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Best will have already received $5,432 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
