Over 30 years of retirement, Carriger would collect as much as $1.98 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Carriger received $41,667 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Carriger will have already received $128,789 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
