Over 30 years of retirement, Kennelly would collect as much as $5.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Kennelly received $109,726 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kennelly will have already received $339,153 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
