Over 30 years of retirement, Hanahan would collect as much as $3.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Hanahan received $68,513 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hanahan will have already received $211,766 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
