Over 30 years of retirement, Turner would collect as much as $3.38 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Turner received $71,122 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Turner will have already received $219,832 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
