Over 30 years of retirement, Coady would collect as much as $1.23 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Coady received $25,941 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Coady will have already received $80,181 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
