Over 30 years of retirement, McRoy would collect as much as $644,169, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes McRoy received $13,539 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McRoy will have already received $41,847 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
