Over 30 years of retirement, McNiece would collect as much as $3.31 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes McNiece received $69,660 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, McNiece will have already received $291,433 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
