Over 30 years of retirement, McCormick would collect as much as $198,703, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes McCormick received $4,176 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McCormick will have already received $8,477 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
