Over 30 years of retirement, Pitcock would collect as much as $783,281, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Pitcock received $16,464 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Pitcock will have already received $68,880 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
