Over 30 years of retirement, Duffy would collect as much as $46,083, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Duffy received $968 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Duffy will have already received $2,992 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
