Over 30 years of retirement, O'Dell would collect as much as $828,577, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes O'Dell received $17,416 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, O'Dell will have already received $35,354 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
