Over 30 years of retirement, Blinderman would collect as much as $3.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Blinderman received $80,010 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Blinderman will have already received $162,420 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
