Over 30 years of retirement, Kiper would collect as much as $2.5 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Kiper received $52,476 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kiper will have already received $106,526 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
