Over 30 years of retirement, Raymer would collect as much as $2.32 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Raymer received $48,688 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Raymer will have already received $98,837 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
