Over 30 years of retirement, Franz would collect as much as $912,694, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Franz received $19,184 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Franz will have already received $59,297 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
