Over 30 years of retirement, Haggard would collect as much as $4.14 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Haggard received $86,963 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Haggard will have already received $176,535 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
