Over 30 years of retirement, Pier would collect as much as $111,257, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Pier received $2,338 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pier will have already received $7,226 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
