Over 30 years of retirement, Latty would collect as much as $630,918, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Latty received $13,261 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Latty will have already received $40,989 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
