Over 30 years of retirement, Cunningham would collect as much as $545,533, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Cunningham received $11,466 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Cunningham will have already received $47,969 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
