Over 30 years of retirement, Bota would collect as much as $627,024, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Bota received $13,179 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bota will have already received $55,134 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
