Over 30 years of retirement, Fritzen would collect as much as $3.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Fritzen received $70,214 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Fritzen will have already received $142,534 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
