Over 30 years of retirement, Craig would collect as much as $588,603, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Craig received $12,372 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Craig will have already received $65,684 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
