Over 30 years of retirement, Soto would collect as much as $4.23 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Soto received $88,951 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Soto will have already received $180,571 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
