Over 30 years of retirement, Marshall would collect as much as $1.6 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Marshall received $33,628 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Marshall will have already received $68,265 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
