Over 30 years of retirement, Wallace would collect as much as $481,866, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Wallace received $10,128 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Wallace will have already received $20,560 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
