Over 30 years of retirement, Alexander would collect as much as $646,698, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Alexander received $13,593 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Alexander will have already received $42,015 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
