Over 30 years of retirement, Gelasi would collect as much as $604,588, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Gelasi received $12,708 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gelasi will have already received $25,797 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
