Over 30 years of retirement, Roe would collect as much as $1.35 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Roe received $28,296 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Roe will have already received $118,380 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
