Over 30 years of retirement, Sutton would collect as much as $4.12 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Sutton received $86,622 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Sutton will have already received $175,843 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
