Over 30 years of retirement, Lister would collect as much as $1.22 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Lister received $25,548 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lister will have already received $78,965 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
