Over 30 years of retirement, Dye would collect as much as $2.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Dye received $61,369 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Dye will have already received $124,579 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
