Over 30 years of retirement, Anderson would collect as much as $3.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Prairie State Wire.
The projection assumes Anderson received $71,424 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Anderson will have already received $220,765 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
