Over 30 years of retirement, Wright would collect as much as $1.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Wright received $40,293 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wright will have already received $124,542 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
