Over 30 years of retirement, Norton would collect as much as $185,389, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes Norton received $3,896 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Norton will have already received $3,896 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
