Over 30 years of retirement, Powley would collect as much as $520,665, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Powley received $10,944 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Powley will have already received $58,101 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
