Over 30 years of retirement, Coleman would collect as much as $1.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Coleman received $32,658 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Coleman will have already received $100,943 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
