Over 30 years of retirement, Sager would collect as much as $1.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Sager received $34,593 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sager will have already received $106,924 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
