Over 30 years of retirement, Godbey would collect as much as $151,992, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Godbey received $3,194 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Godbey will have already received $3,194 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
