Over 30 years of retirement, Pomerantz would collect as much as $524,039, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Pomerantz received $11,014 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Pomerantz will have already received $34,042 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
