Over 30 years of retirement, Salotti would collect as much as $567,890, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Salotti received $11,936 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Salotti will have already received $49,936 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
