Over 30 years of retirement, Zipfel would collect as much as $255,068, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Zipfel received $5,361 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Zipfel will have already received $16,571 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
