Over 30 years of retirement, Meador would collect as much as $374,045, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Meador received $7,862 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Meador will have already received $7,862 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
