Over 30 years of retirement, Perez would collect as much as $3.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Perez received $71,426 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Perez will have already received $144,995 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
