Over 30 years of retirement, Besjak would collect as much as $668,038, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Besjak received $14,041 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Besjak will have already received $43,399 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
