Over 30 years of retirement, Dwyer would collect as much as $2.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Dwyer received $53,457 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dwyer will have already received $165,231 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
