Over 30 years of retirement, Polanin would collect as much as $5.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Polanin received $123,222 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Polanin will have already received $250,141 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
