Over 30 years of retirement, Powell would collect as much as $398,491, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Powell received $8,376 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Powell will have already received $44,470 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
