Over 30 years of retirement, Questelle would collect as much as $494,974, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Questelle received $10,404 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Questelle will have already received $43,525 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
