Over 30 years of retirement, Jagodzinski would collect as much as $1.05 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Jagodzinski received $21,985 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jagodzinski will have already received $67,954 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
