Over 30 years of retirement, Brown would collect as much as $650,574, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Brown received $13,674 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Brown will have already received $88,449 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
