Over 30 years of retirement, Cutlan would collect as much as $1.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Cutlan received $30,924 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Cutlan will have already received $62,776 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
