Over 30 years of retirement, Boyd would collect as much as $589,173, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Boyd received $12,384 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Boyd will have already received $51,812 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
