Over 30 years of retirement, Kerr would collect as much as $75,553, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Kerr received $1,588 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kerr will have already received $6,645 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
