Over 30 years of retirement, Bracken would collect as much as $2.76 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Bracken received $57,949 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bracken will have already received $179,114 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
