Over 30 years of retirement, Henson would collect as much as $903,074, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Henson received $18,981 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Henson will have already received $18,981 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
