Over 30 years of retirement, Landers would collect as much as $293,222, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Landers received $6,163 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Landers will have already received $32,719 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
