Over 30 years of retirement, Steger would collect as much as $819,631, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Steger received $17,228 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Steger will have already received $53,250 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
