Over 30 years of retirement, Heinz would collect as much as $252,328, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Heinz received $5,303 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Heinz will have already received $10,765 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
