Over 30 years of retirement, Sorrill would collect as much as $782,607, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.
The projection assumes Sorrill received $16,449 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Sorrill will have already received $50,841 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
