Over 30 years of retirement, Bigott would collect as much as $5.3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Bigott received $111,302 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bigott will have already received $344,023 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
