Over 30 years of retirement, Klontz would collect as much as $425,877, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Klontz received $8,951 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Klontz will have already received $37,450 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
