Over 30 years of retirement, Tally would collect as much as $818,746, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Tally received $17,209 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Tally will have already received $53,191 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
