Over 30 years of retirement, Schurter would collect as much as $16,276, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Schurter received $342 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Schurter will have already received $1,431 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
