Over 30 years of retirement, Everett would collect as much as $4.09 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Everett received $85,947 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Everett will have already received $265,653 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
