Over 30 years of retirement, Mlinar would collect as much as $1.55 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.
The projection assumes Mlinar received $32,551 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Mlinar will have already received $100,613 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
