Over 30 years of retirement, Lind would collect as much as $644,488, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Lind received $13,546 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Lind will have already received $56,671 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
