Over 30 years of retirement, Rich would collect as much as $6.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Rich received $135,484 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Rich will have already received $275,033 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
