Over 30 years of retirement, Simon would collect as much as $2.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Simon received $43,349 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Simon will have already received $87,998 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
