Over 30 years of retirement, Sawyer would collect as much as $897,548, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Sawyer received $18,865 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sawyer will have already received $58,310 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
