Over 30 years of retirement, Bakken would collect as much as $547,406, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Bakken received $11,506 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bakken will have already received $35,564 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
