Over 30 years of retirement, Minnihan would collect as much as $862,882, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.
The projection assumes Minnihan received $18,137 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Minnihan will have already received $56,059 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
