Over 30 years of retirement, Catalano would collect as much as $2.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Catalano received $58,165 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Catalano will have already received $118,075 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
