Over 30 years of retirement, Wheelhouse would collect as much as $2.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Wheelhouse received $45,090 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wheelhouse will have already received $139,369 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
