Over 30 years of retirement, Byrns would collect as much as $124,794, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.
The projection assumes Byrns received $2,623 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Byrns will have already received $5,325 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
