Over 30 years of retirement, Tarr would collect as much as $498,051, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Tarr received $10,468 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Tarr will have already received $43,793 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
