Over 30 years of retirement, Ross would collect as much as $1.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Ross received $32,840 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ross will have already received $101,505 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
