Over 30 years of retirement, Wernsing would collect as much as $470,174, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Wernsing received $9,882 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wernsing will have already received $30,543 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
