Over 30 years of retirement, Shannon would collect as much as $125,479, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Shannon received $2,637 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Shannon will have already received $2,637 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
