Over 30 years of retirement, Todd would collect as much as $73,566, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Todd received $1,546 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Todd will have already received $6,467 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
