Over 30 years of retirement, Anderson would collect as much as $617,565, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Anderson received $12,980 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Anderson will have already received $12,980 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
