Over 30 years of retirement, Massad would collect as much as $741,034, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Massad received $15,576 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Massad will have already received $48,143 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
