Over 30 years of retirement, Dennison would collect as much as $324,907, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Dennison received $6,829 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Dennison will have already received $13,863 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
