Over 30 years of retirement, Swift would collect as much as $896,566, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.
The projection assumes Swift received $18,845 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Swift will have already received $58,247 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
