Over 30 years of retirement, Dawson would collect as much as $4.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.
The projection assumes Dawson received $91,907 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Dawson will have already received $284,075 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
