Over 30 years of retirement, Cronin would collect as much as $2.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Cronin received $50,452 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Cronin will have already received $102,418 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
