Over 30 years of retirement, Larsen would collect as much as $975,105, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Larsen received $20,496 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Larsen will have already received $85,747 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
