Over 30 years of retirement, Williams would collect as much as $1.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Williams received $24,265 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Williams will have already received $49,258 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
