Over 30 years of retirement, Worthington would collect as much as $691,234, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Worthington received $14,529 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Worthington will have already received $44,908 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
