Over 30 years of retirement, Creger would collect as much as $574,284, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Creger received $12,071 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Creger will have already received $37,310 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
