Over 30 years of retirement, Grover would collect as much as $1.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Grover received $25,053 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Grover will have already received $104,813 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
