Over 30 years of retirement, Gahm would collect as much as $2.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Gahm received $57,766 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Gahm will have already received $178,549 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
