Over 30 years of retirement, Kaufman would collect as much as $1.13 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Kaufman received $23,732 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kaufman will have already received $99,285 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
