Over 30 years of retirement, Hefler would collect as much as $502,236, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Hefler received $10,556 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hefler will have already received $32,628 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
