Over 30 years of retirement, Boots would collect as much as $74,114, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Boots received $1,557 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Boots will have already received $6,515 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
