Over 30 years of retirement, Bellamey would collect as much as $5.32 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Bellamey received $111,876 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Bellamey will have already received $227,108 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
