Over 30 years of retirement, Martin would collect as much as $3 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Martin received $62,968 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Martin will have already received $194,628 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
