Over 30 years of retirement, Steward would collect as much as $10.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Steward received $222,276 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Steward will have already received $687,032 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
