Over 30 years of retirement, Stenger would collect as much as $571,744, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Stenger received $12,017 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Stenger will have already received $50,275 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
