Over 30 years of retirement, Dennison would collect as much as $2.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Dennison received $59,005 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Dennison will have already received $119,780 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
