Over 30 years of retirement, Gray would collect as much as $4.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Gray received $86,323 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gray will have already received $175,236 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
