Over 30 years of retirement, Lee would collect as much as $1.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Galesburg Reporter.
The projection assumes Lee received $24,925 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Lee will have already received $104,277 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
