Over 30 years of retirement, Engelmeyer would collect as much as $568,136, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Engelmeyer received $11,941 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Engelmeyer will have already received $49,956 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
