Over 30 years of retirement, Graves would collect as much as $110,287, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Graves received $2,318 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Graves will have already received $4,706 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
