Over 30 years of retirement, Whiteside would collect as much as $3.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Whiteside received $77,435 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Whiteside will have already received $239,344 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
