Over 30 years of retirement, Wiggins would collect as much as $78,687, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Wiggins received $1,653 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wiggins will have already received $5,110 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
