Over 30 years of retirement, McCoy would collect as much as $3.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes McCoy received $71,455 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McCoy will have already received $145,054 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
