Over 30 years of retirement, Colby would collect as much as $1.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Colby received $41,368 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Colby will have already received $173,068 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
