Over 30 years of retirement, Tortorello would collect as much as $3.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Tortorello received $73,041 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Tortorello will have already received $148,273 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
