Over 30 years of retirement, Dietrich would collect as much as $1.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Dietrich received $24,197 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dietrich will have already received $74,791 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
