Over 30 years of retirement, Hedman would collect as much as $2.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Hedman received $50,838 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Hedman will have already received $103,201 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
