Over 30 years of retirement, Schmidt would collect as much as $365,316, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Schmidt received $7,678 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Schmidt will have already received $7,678 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
