Over 30 years of retirement, Hart would collect as much as $714,099, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Hart received $15,009 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hart will have already received $46,391 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
