Over 30 years of retirement, Surratt would collect as much as $137,924, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Surratt received $2,899 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Surratt will have already received $8,961 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
