Over 30 years of retirement, Hale would collect as much as $944,864, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Hale received $19,860 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Hale will have already received $128,465 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
