Over 30 years of retirement, Weldon would collect as much as $2.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Weldon received $48,233 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Weldon will have already received $149,083 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
