Over 30 years of retirement, Martell would collect as much as $2.43 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Martell received $51,147 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Martell will have already received $103,828 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
