Over 30 years of retirement, Bolden would collect as much as $2.95 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Bolden received $62,055 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Bolden will have already received $259,617 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
