Over 30 years of retirement, Haywood would collect as much as $2.35 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Haywood received $49,370 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Haywood will have already received $100,221 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
