Over 30 years of retirement, Avery would collect as much as $763,328, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Avery received $16,044 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 6 years of retirement, Avery will have already received $103,780 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
