Over 30 years of retirement, Mueller would collect as much as $3.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Mueller received $63,856 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Mueller will have already received $129,628 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
