Over 30 years of retirement, Strow would collect as much as $1.66 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Strow received $34,890 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Strow will have already received $107,842 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
