Over 30 years of retirement, Herreman would collect as much as $806,300, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Herreman received $16,947 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Herreman will have already received $70,899 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
