Over 30 years of retirement, Lant would collect as much as $3.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Lant received $71,725 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lant will have already received $221,695 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
