Over 30 years of retirement, Craske would collect as much as $61,880, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Craske received $1,300 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Craske will have already received $4,018 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
