Over 30 years of retirement, Mills would collect as much as $705,450, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Mills received $14,828 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Mills will have already received $45,832 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
