Over 30 years of retirement, Green would collect as much as $1.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Green received $26,548 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Green will have already received $111,065 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
