Over 30 years of retirement, Hinrichs would collect as much as $433,316, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Hinrichs received $9,108 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Hinrichs will have already received $48,354 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
