Over 30 years of retirement, Hoyland would collect as much as $1.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Hoyland received $39,200 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hoyland will have already received $121,163 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
