Over 30 years of retirement, Greenburg would collect as much as $219,764, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Greenburg received $4,619 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Greenburg will have already received $24,525 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
