Over 30 years of retirement, Terry would collect as much as $5.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Terry received $110,557 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Terry will have already received $224,431 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
