Over 30 years of retirement, Hogle would collect as much as $970,589, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Hogle received $20,401 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hogle will have already received $63,057 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
