Over 30 years of retirement, Benjamin would collect as much as $591,274, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Benjamin received $12,428 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Benjamin will have already received $12,428 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
