Over 30 years of retirement, Hathaway would collect as much as $616,052, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Hathaway received $12,948 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hathaway will have already received $40,020 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
