Over 30 years of retirement, Kinzie would collect as much as $4.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Kinzie received $89,686 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Kinzie will have already received $277,211 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
