Over 30 years of retirement, Hunsberger would collect as much as $4.24 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Hunsberger received $89,137 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Hunsberger will have already received $275,513 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
