Over 30 years of retirement, Guthrie would collect as much as $560,897, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Guthrie received $11,789 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Guthrie will have already received $23,932 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
