Over 30 years of retirement, Drollinger would collect as much as $894,916, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Drollinger received $18,810 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Drollinger will have already received $58,139 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
