Over 30 years of retirement, Das would collect as much as $1.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Das received $32,290 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Das will have already received $171,435 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
