Over 30 years of retirement, Jeakins would collect as much as $856,220, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Jeakins received $17,997 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Jeakins will have already received $55,627 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
