Over 30 years of retirement, Murray would collect as much as $1.12 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Murray received $23,467 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Murray will have already received $72,534 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
