Over 30 years of retirement, Batzek would collect as much as $88,096, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Batzek received $1,851 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Batzek will have already received $7,745 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
