Over 30 years of retirement, Weaver would collect as much as $286,594, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Weaver received $6,024 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Weaver will have already received $18,620 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
