Over 30 years of retirement, Chang would collect as much as $5.28 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Chang received $110,879 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Chang will have already received $342,715 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
