Over 30 years of retirement, Brown would collect as much as $1.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Brown received $37,619 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Brown will have already received $116,277 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
