Over 30 years of retirement, McClellan would collect as much as $505,005, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes McClellan received $10,614 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McClellan will have already received $21,546 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
