Over 30 years of retirement, Prude would collect as much as $2.36 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Prude received $49,640 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Prude will have already received $153,432 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
