Over 30 years of retirement, Walker would collect as much as $601,202, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Walker received $12,636 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Walker will have already received $25,651 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
