Over 30 years of retirement, Colbeck would collect as much as $2.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Colbeck received $61,463 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Colbeck will have already received $189,976 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
