Over 30 years of retirement, Slawson would collect as much as $5.83 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Slawson received $122,452 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Slawson will have already received $248,578 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
