Over 30 years of retirement, McCord would collect as much as $2.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes McCord received $54,098 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McCord will have already received $167,212 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
