Over 30 years of retirement, Westbrook would collect as much as $699,940, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Westbrook received $14,712 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Westbrook will have already received $29,865 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
