Over 30 years of retirement, Morse would collect as much as $180,799, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Morse received $3,800 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Morse will have already received $11,745 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
