Over 30 years of retirement, Goudreau would collect as much as $3.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Goudreau received $79,834 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Goudreau will have already received $246,759 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
