Over 30 years of retirement, Atherton would collect as much as $96,140, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Atherton received $2,020 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Atherton will have already received $6,244 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
