Over 30 years of retirement, Templeton would collect as much as $135,938, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Templeton received $2,857 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Templeton will have already received $8,831 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
