Over 30 years of retirement, Wegner would collect as much as $918,117, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.
The projection assumes Wegner received $19,298 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Wegner will have already received $59,648 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
