Over 30 years of retirement, Vinson would collect as much as $84,431, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Vinson received $1,774 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Vinson will have already received $1,774 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
