Over 30 years of retirement, Kuhl would collect as much as $2.77 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Kuhl received $58,326 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kuhl will have already received $118,402 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
