Over 30 years of retirement, Menken would collect as much as $2.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Menken received $49,793 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Menken will have already received $153,906 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
