Over 30 years of retirement, Zika would collect as much as $1.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Zika received $29,446 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Zika will have already received $59,775 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
