Over 30 years of retirement, Carnaghi would collect as much as $595,179, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Carnaghi received $12,510 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Carnaghi will have already received $52,337 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
