Over 30 years of retirement, Vineyard would collect as much as $2.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Vineyard received $57,725 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Vineyard will have already received $241,501 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
