Over 30 years of retirement, Bantham would collect as much as $666,131, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Bantham received $14,001 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Bantham will have already received $43,276 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
