Over 30 years of retirement, Scott would collect as much as $280,605, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Scott received $5,898 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Scott will have already received $24,675 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
