Over 30 years of retirement, Rodriguez would collect as much as $4.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Rodriguez received $84,931 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Rodriguez will have already received $262,513 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
