Over 30 years of retirement, Kelly would collect as much as $3.07 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Kelly received $64,541 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kelly will have already received $270,014 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
