Over 30 years of retirement, Mason would collect as much as $335,132, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Mason received $7,044 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Mason will have already received $21,772 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
