Over 30 years of retirement, Fudala would collect as much as $524,536, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Fudala received $11,025 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Fudala will have already received $34,078 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
