Over 30 years of retirement, Meyer would collect as much as $460,874, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Meyer received $9,687 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Meyer will have already received $40,527 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
