Over 30 years of retirement, Leslie would collect as much as $960,656, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Leslie received $20,192 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Leslie will have already received $107,204 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
