Over 30 years of retirement, Negro would collect as much as $1.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Negro received $35,949 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Negro will have already received $35,949 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
