Over 30 years of retirement, Kelly would collect as much as $343,781, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Kelly received $7,226 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kelly will have already received $14,669 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
