Over 30 years of retirement, Gordon would collect as much as $976,869, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Gordon received $20,533 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Gordon will have already received $41,682 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
