Over 30 years of retirement, Love would collect as much as $1.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Love received $33,356 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Love will have already received $67,713 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
