Over 30 years of retirement, Hines would collect as much as $522,412, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Hines received $10,980 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hines will have already received $33,937 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
