Over 30 years of retirement, Garris would collect as much as $300,866, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Garris received $6,324 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Garris will have already received $26,457 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
