Over 30 years of retirement, Dillon would collect as much as $593,689, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Dillon received $12,478 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dillon will have already received $38,568 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
