Over 30 years of retirement, Daniels would collect as much as $4.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Daniels received $92,792 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Daniels will have already received $188,368 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
