Over 30 years of retirement, Kinsel would collect as much as $621,955, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Kinsel received $13,073 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Kinsel will have already received $54,692 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
