Over 30 years of retirement, Brinkerhoff would collect as much as $168,325, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Brinkerhoff received $3,538 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 1 years of retirement, Brinkerhoff will have already received $3,538 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
