Over 30 years of retirement, Cissell would collect as much as $33,175, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Cissell received $697 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Cissell will have already received $2,917 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
