Over 30 years of retirement, Durbin would collect as much as $1.05 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.
The projection assumes Durbin received $22,045 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Durbin will have already received $68,138 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
