Over 30 years of retirement, Furlan would collect as much as $2.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Furlan received $46,715 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Furlan will have already received $195,436 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
