Over 30 years of retirement, Coan would collect as much as $2.47 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Coan received $51,890 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Coan will have already received $160,387 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
