Over 30 years of retirement, Diekhoff would collect as much as $926,042, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Diekhoff received $19,464 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Diekhoff will have already received $125,898 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
