Over 30 years of retirement, Schumaier would collect as much as $1.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Schumaier received $31,222 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Schumaier will have already received $96,505 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
