Over 30 years of retirement, Kelly would collect as much as $86,709, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Kelly received $1,822 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kelly will have already received $5,632 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
