Over 30 years of retirement, Bevenour would collect as much as $27,848, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Bevenour received $585 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bevenour will have already received $2,449 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
