Over 30 years of retirement, Lashbrook would collect as much as $2.71 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Lashbrook received $56,981 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lashbrook will have already received $176,122 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
