Over 30 years of retirement, Lampson would collect as much as $449,456, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Lampson received $9,447 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Lampson will have already received $19,177 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
