Over 30 years of retirement, Owens would collect as much as $880,649, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Owens received $18,510 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Owens will have already received $77,438 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
