Over 30 years of retirement, Deblaey would collect as much as $695,259, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Deblaey received $14,613 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Deblaey will have already received $45,167 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
