Over 30 years of retirement, Grant would collect as much as $1.6 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Grant received $33,640 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Grant will have already received $103,977 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
