Over 30 years of retirement, Carney would collect as much as $1.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Carney received $21,668 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Carney will have already received $90,652 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
