Over 30 years of retirement, Martinez would collect as much as $608,778, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Martinez received $12,796 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Martinez will have already received $53,533 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
