Over 30 years of retirement, Crawford would collect as much as $61,560, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Crawford received $1,293 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Crawford will have already received $2,625 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
