Over 30 years of retirement, Turley would collect as much as $2.25 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Turley received $47,377 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Turley will have already received $146,437 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
