Over 30 years of retirement, Corrigan would collect as much as $879,838, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.
The projection assumes Corrigan received $18,493 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Corrigan will have already received $57,160 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
