Over 30 years of retirement, McGinnis would collect as much as $5.6 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.
The projection assumes McGinnis received $117,631 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, McGinnis will have already received $363,586 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
