Over 30 years of retirement, Garnant would collect as much as $64,803, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Garnant received $1,362 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Garnant will have already received $4,210 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
