Over 30 years of retirement, Hamrick would collect as much as $367,217, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Hamrick received $7,718 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hamrick will have already received $23,857 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
