Over 30 years of retirement, Gummert would collect as much as $43,959, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Gummert received $924 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gummert will have already received $1,876 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
