Over 30 years of retirement, McClellan would collect as much as $1.51 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes McClellan received $31,724 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, McClellan will have already received $64,400 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
